Kim emulated Lil’ Kim circa 1999 in the shoot, as well as actress Pamela Anderson with flamboyant looks in a shoot from May this year.

She shared the pictures on KimKardashianWest.com and in a lengthy post, she wrote: ‘I absolutely loved this photo shoot I did with Petra Collins [who directed Selena Gomez’s Fetish video] for the September issue of Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book.

‘The theme for the issue was 1999, so for the shoot I channeled ‘90s icons Pamela Anderson and Lil’ Kim. The Pamela Anderson outfit was inspired by her look from the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.’

‘I can’t wait to see everyone else who dressed up as ’90s icons, which ranged from Celine Dion to Victoria Beckham. Get the full issue on stands September 7, 2017,’ she concluded.

A further explanation of the issue’s theme sits on the CR website: ‘To pay homage to our 1999-themed issue, hitting newsstands on September 7th, we reimagined some of the most iconic celebrity looks from a time when the red carpet ruled.

‘1999 saw its fair share of these moments, and we tapped photographer Petra Collins to give us her take on all of the greats.

‘Among them, was rapper Lil’ Kim whose mermaid-inspired purple pasty moment at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards is still considered one the most memorable looks of all time.’

‘As the only female member of the hip hop group Junior M.A.F.I.A. the Queen Bee was wise to use fashion as a way to steal the show and Kim Kardashian—who counts Lil’ Kim as a close friend—is no stranger to such tactics herself.’
